CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (December 10) – Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) went undefeated for a second year in a row and was the only wrestler in the classic style to go wire-to-wire atop the 2015 United World Wrestling Rankings for Greco-Roman.
Defending champ Aleksanyan, 24, defeated London 2012 Olympic Games gold medalist Ghasem REZAEI (IRI) in the 98kg final at the world championships in Las Vegas for his eighth straight tournament title over the last two years.
Winners in the seven other weight categories all finished on top of the world wrestling rankings, established in 2013, for the first time even though Selcuk CEBI (TUR) bagged his third world title while Roman VLASOV (RUS) and Riza KAYAALP (TUR) each collected their second.
And, while most of the champions took a break from competition in the wake of the world meet, Frank STAEBLER (GER) and Zhan BELENYUK (UKR) decided to log some more mat time in October and November.
Staebler moved up to 71kg after winning the lightweight crown in Las Vegas and bagged the top prize at the Golden Grand Prix Final in Baku. Belenyuk, meanwhile, won at the World Military Games in Korea, but lost in the 85kg final in Baku to European Games gold medalist David CHAKVETADZE (RUS).
Despite the loss, Belenyuk holds onto the No.1 ranking by virtue of Chavetadze’s 10th-place finish in Las Vegas following a quarterfinal loss to Saman TAHMASEBI (AZE).
Meanwhile, KIM Hyeon-Woo (KOR) narrowly missed a chance of going wire-to-wire at 75kg after falling in his third bout in Las Vegas for 10th place. The 2013 world champ, however, came back for a win in the GGP Final to finish the year at No.3.
Four world silver medalists also lost in the GGP Final with three of them – Mark MADSEN (DEN), Viktor SASUNOSKI (BLR) and Rustam ASSAKALOV (UZB) – slipping one or two places in their rankings.
RYU Han-Soo (KOR), who also stumbled at 66kg in Baku, was unaffected by his first round loss since the top GGP Final place winners were all unranked or lower-ranked.
The final rankings for 2015 are based on the results of United World Wrestling events throughout the year with extra weight given to the world championships followed by continental competitions and the grand prix events.
The top six wrestlers in each weight category at the world championships were awarded the top six positions the in September rankings, but a handful of those positions have been re-evaluated in light of head-to-head encounters in October and November.
The bulk of the rankings from No.7 to No.20 were determined, in part, by a wrestler’s performance in Las Vegas, where applicable, along with the results in other competitions throughout 2015.
Wrestlers in the rankings are listed by name, country code, most notable or most recent result over the last 12 months, and their position in the previous rankings.
